Our House

Madness - Our House
Released in November 1982, it peaked at number 5 in the UK singles chart and was their biggest hit in the United States, reaching number 7 in the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. The music video depicts the band acting out the song's lyrics. Their costumes are old fashion and all are wearing hats except the lead singer who is smart but casual clothing. The song's lyrics mostly describe the daily activities in the house, with some of the band portraying the "family" oner of the members are dressed as a women showing sterotypically women stay at home to cook and clean through the costume he was wearing making it comical. The video cuts between scenes of the "family", the band playing in a living room, and exterior shots of various other houses including Buckingham Palace.
